Also go my Prime Prime in the mail yesterday from hasbrotoyshop.com (still have some in stock). Pretty ok figure but the packaging is awesome! I do like the transformation but something seems off about his proportions.. Can't wait for the voyager version.

It's the wrists. They make the arms too long.

I did pick up an MP Roddy from TRU online, but have not opened it yet. DO have the Takara version too. We chatted about this on last night's podcast.

Yeah he looks like an optimus primal/optimus prime hybrid with those monkey arms.
Anyone else pick up an Exgraver? I'm interested to know what people think of him. He is actually one of my favorite tf's I've gotten in a while. I'm thinking it might just be because I'm thinking of the completed Hercules...

I found MP Rodimus at the Ann Arbor TRU today. They had 4 of them. I picked up one. About 30 minutes later I went back because tfpredaking decided he wanted one. Got the last one. The woman working check out said people had been calling about them all morning. I really like him. I was able to get him into car mode which I couldn't do with the Takara version. This one feels less fragile than the Takara version. Firebolt(that's his name, dammit!) is really cool too. I still haven't seen the Rescue Bots. They haven't made it to AA TRU. I would like to get Prime. Not interested in the rest of them.

They are in Targets now too. Westland TRU has them, and so does the 7-8 mile and Haggerty Target in Northville/Novi.

Thing is these are not located in the TF section, they are in the young kids stuff. Target has them mixed and matched in with Star Wars Heroes (like the old two pack kid stuff, but with more articulation), and new Marvel Heroes, also near the DC Universe Equivalents, Rescue Heroes, and more.

TRU has them in the younger kids stuff as well.

So I see TF Prime Optimus is available on Hasbrotoyshop.com. Does anyone know when Megatron is going to be available? And are these two going to be released in any other size classes?

Megatron isn't coming out till late in the year around Oct or later is what i've heard. The Deluxe Megs is going to be packaged with Deluxe Prime. Optimus is definatly getting a Voyager size and Megs better get at least Voyager if not Leader class.

Called Jackson TRU last night. Got them to hold a MP Rodimus for me. Picked it up this morning. They had 2 left. Got a free Xhu Xhu Pet and used 20% off Facebook coupon. Don't forget to grab the coupon if you're going over to get him. Good luck!

I went to the Troy Target today, snatched a HA Roadbuster. Very cool and complex figure, I can't wait to get Leadfoot (and have we found out if Topspin is getting the HA treatment?)
They had one left over, still had some Ultimate Primes, a Laserbeak and plenty of other Deluxes along with all the normal shelfwarmers.

No Rodimi at the Dearborn TRU today. Either they were there and sold out, or they still haven't gotten them yet. I looked for a tag, couldn't find one.

Nothing else to report.

Finally picked up the large Kreo Optimus Prime yester day and all I can say is WOW! 2 and a half hours of build time so far and I still have to build the trailer. Tons of pieces. I love it. It's probably going to be a while before I disassemble it to build the robot mode though...lol Can't wait to get Megatron. I may wait for a sale on that one due to the fact that there a alot that are just becoming shelf warmers already.

Rumor has it TRU is doing their resets this week as well. Keep your eyes peeled.
However, I'll tell you that resets sometimes just means making space for something that's set to arrive in the coming weeks.

I got my free Kreon from that mail-away offer from a month-and-a-half ago. It is the Matrix Prime just as it was given away at Botcon. The box was a little smooshed but I don't mind so much. I also received my TRU rewards bonus from last month and my new driver's license in today's mail. Not bad for the day after a birthday, eh?

Happy Birthday Ol' Bean.

Got my SDCC stuff. Starscream Striker is very cool. Zaranas I have not opened yet, but she looks good. I think I'm a Sergeant Slaughter, and Roddy Piper away from completeness for 25th (minus Joecon exclusives). Oh and regular Dialtone, I need too.

Also got the Star Wars Revenge of the Jedi set of figs. Very awesome package, and super cool figs.
